On Sunday morning, November 17, BKOR organizes the art walk 10.000 Steps Art Walk Nesselande, on the occasion of the new sculpture View of wind which was placed in May this year. Join art guide Anne-Marie Ros for a varied walk through Nesselande. This unique Vinex district in Rotterdam-Oost, with a beautiful beach on the Zevenhuizerplas, is located no less than 5,5 meters below sea level in the polder.

During the 10.000 Steps Art Walk explore your works of art in which the elements play a major role, including the cheerful golden weather vanes in the Weather vane park (2013) by Annelies Dijkman, the soap bubbles in Hydra (2006) by Moritz Ebinger and the recent View of wind (2024) by Madelon Hooykaas. Let yourself be carried away by stories about this reclaimed land and discover how water management plays a central role here. We reflect on the nature, history and architecture that characterize this special environment.

The walk of approximately 7 kilometers takes you through streets named after artists and islands in the Mediterranean, past parks and through the polder landscape, with a view of the lake and the beach. Walk with us and discover how art contributes to the identity and connection of this new neighborhood.
